This painting reminds me of this Paul Laurence Dunbar poem for a number of reasons. The poem is rather humorous, and although the painting has a somber feel as it lacks color, the guys seem to be enjoying there job as harvesters, or at least they don't mind it. They seem to be up to something, sort of similar to how the poem talks about how the turkey thinks he is the hot shot, but actually it is the harvesters who get the last laugh.
